The neglect of the rulers is not due to incompetence, but due to their efficient adherence to the world order created by the Western colonialist states. Regarding the economy, the rulers of Pakistan have committed to making three trillion rupees of interest payments, when the entire taxation target is six trillion rupees. Rather than pleading the case that Islam forbids interest and stopping all interest payments, the rulers will bridge the gaping fiscal deficit of 3.5 trillion rupees with yet more loans on interest. By doing so they are adhering to the economic world order that the colonialists that has ensured that with each passing decade, Pakistan is dug deeper into the scourge of interest-based debt. In 1971, Pakistan’s debt was 30 billion rupees, but is now approaching 40 trillion rupees, which is well over a thousand-fold increase. Through adhering to the current economic order, Pakistan’s rulers have doomed Pakistan to sinking into further debt, more interest payments and steep taxation burdens to meet interest payments. The current economic order is by design a continuation of direct colonialism, with military occupation. It is neo-colonialism where Western supremacy is maintained through economic enslavement. Regarding security, the rulers of Pakistan have woefully neglected the sanctities of Islam. Having abandoned Occupied Kashmir to Modi, they pleaded fear of European sanctions to resist the demand to expel the French ambassador over the honor of the Prophet (saw). Having abandoned the issue of the honor of the Prophet (saw), they then pleaded the obstacle of distance over the demand to send the Pakistan Army to liberate Al-Aqsa Masjid. Their neglect is due to their efficient adherence to the Western international order which is a legacy of the crusader conflict with the Khilafah. By design, the international security order is to ensure Western supremacy, ensuring that the Muslims abandon their sanctities. This is why Pakistan’s rulers exercise restraint as Occupied Kashmir is seized by Modi, but they are striving now to assist the US maintain a security footprint in the region, after its humiliating withdrawal. This is why Pakistan’s rulers plead the obstacle of distance and territorial limits in the case of Al-Aqsa Masjid, whilst the liberation _________________________________________________________________ Nussrah Magazine Issue-61 P a g e | 3 ______________________________________________________________________ of Occupied Kashmir is eminently within reach, both with respect to territorial claim, distance, capability and opportunity. The Muslims can only expect humiliation and misery whilst they are burdened by rulers that play by the unjust rules of the Western colonialists. Their situation will only improve once they install rulers that govern them by their Deen. It is the Khilafah alone that will reject the interest payments, emerging from the colonialist debt trap to establish revenue streams that enabled the Khilafah to ensure that Islam was supreme for centuries. It sit the Khilafah that will free the Muslim armed forces of the shackles of international law, resuming Dawah and Jihad to spread Islam throughout the earth.

  • Running Like Zebras by Edip Yuksel
    Running Like Zebras by Edip Yuksel PREFACE This book contains a debate between Mr. Edip Yuksel, a proponent of the Quran's numerical structure based on the number 19, and its detractor and skeptic "par- excellence" Mr. Daniel (Abdulrahman) Lomax. The actual polemic took place on an Internet computer bulletin board, where Mr. Lomax has for the past several years posted his refutations of the Quran's mathematical structure. The original work of decoding the Quran's mathematical pattern based on the number 19 (found in sura 74 verse 30, a chapter entitled "The Hidden") was done by the late Dr. Rashad Khalifa in the seventies and eighties. His work was initially welcomed in the Muslim world, until he arrived at the unavoidable conclusion that Muslims should follow the Quran, and the Quran alone, as a source of religious guidance. This was too hard for the power that be in traditional Islam (the religious scholars) to swallow. Dr. Khalifa's works were eventually banned in the Muslim countries (he was murdered in 1990), and ideas similar to his were either suppressed or hotly refuted. In a sense, then, the debate contained in this book is an ongoing struggle between people who follow the Quran alone and those who follow hadith, sunna and consensus of the religious scholars and clerics. A debate between those who are satisfied with God's revelation and those who uphold religious traditions based on man-made dogmas. A polemic between the supporters of the true message of Muhammad and the supporters of the man-made sayings attributed to the man.

This aspect of study of the holy Quran is purely religious. The preservance oE the Revelation, its specific arrangement, majestic presentation, omission and addition, rhyme and rhythm andjabove all, its miraculous character, both from the point of view of ideology and literature, testify for its being a marvellous literary monument, :fer above in excellence» in com- prision to any human endeavour , irrespective of age and place.

  • The Gunpowder Age and Global History
    The Age of Gunpowder 1 Introduction: The Gunpowder Age and Global History Tonio Andrade Professor of History, Emory University When Chinese alchemists invented the “fire drug” in the 800s AD, they unleashed one of the most transformative technologies in world history. Early gunpowder was not the explosive that it later became. It took centuries of development before it became capable of propelling projectiles. The Chinese used the early gunpowder mixtures for weapons, of course, but they were conflagratives and fire spewers, used for burning structures and people. Proper guns emerged in the 1200s, and by the mid-1300s the new weapons had begun transforming warfare, used in huge numbers in the fierce battles that led, eventually, to the triumph of the Ming Dynasty, which has been rightly referred to as the world’s first gunpowder empire.1 Guns and gunpowder quickly spread beyond China, and this issue of Emory Endeavors in History is devoted to exploring their effects – and other issues of military modernization and innovation – in world history. China’s closest neighbors found themselves forced to adapt to gun warfare quickly, and one of the pioneers of early gunpowder history, historian Sun Laichen of California State University, Fullerton, has famously described this process for Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia.2 Yet equally important, but much less well understood, is the adoption of guns by China’s northeastern neighbors, Korea and Japan. Although Japan is not usually considered an early gun adopter (it is known much more for its later adoption of Portuguese-style arquebuses in the 1 Sun Laichen, “Ming-Southeast Asian Overland Interactions, 1368-1644,” Ph.D.

By Dr. ZAKIR NAIK ISLAMIC RESEARCH FOUNDATION http://www.irf.net Author: Indian Agnostic (http://agniveer.com) Dr. Zakir Naik , in his book The Quran and Modern Science: Compatible or Incompatible? places certain quranic verses as evidence before us, in support of his claim that Quran and modern science are indeed compatible (The booklet can be downloaded from IRF Site) In this article, we will examine his arguments and evidences to ascertain if there is any truth to the claim or it is yet another propagandist stunt of Dr. Naik. This article is heavily inspired from the RATIONAL arguments/facts published on Islam-critiquing sites like FaithFreedom.org , Islam-Watch.org, AnsweringMuslims.org etc. So many a thanks to all of them for making the job a cinch :) [ *Extracts from Dr. Naik's book appear in shaded boxes below, followed by our response.

Tall claim Dr. Naik ! Let's see how objective, factual and rational you have been in this work of yours "There was a time, in the history of world civilization, when 'miracles', or what was perceived to be a miracle, took precedence over human reason and logic.

  • Chapter 17 Rocket Science
    Rocket science Chapter 17 Rocket science 17-1. What makes a good rocket The first rockets as we know them were invented by the Chinese around 600 AD following their invention of gun powder1. They called them fire-arrows and used them to create colorful displays during festivals, not unlike our contemporary fireworks. In the late 1700s, the Kingdom of Mysore in India developed rockets and used them as weapons against the British East India Company2, and in retaliation the British military developed the Congreve rocket3 circa 1804. Both were effectively tiny missiles with very limited range and destructive power. The Mysorean rockets consisted of a tube of soft hammered iron about 20 cm long, closed at one end which contained packed black powder and served as a combustion chamber. A rocket with one pound of powder could travel about 900 m. In contrast, the European rockets, which were not made of iron, could not take large chamber pressures and were incapable of reaching similar distances. Figure 17-1. The early Chinese fire-arrow (left) and the Mysorean rocket (right). Note that each has a tail consisting of long bamboo stick, presumably for directional stability. (Photo credits: NASA and painting by Charles H. Hubbell, Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland, Ohio) Aside from adequate propulsion power, a main challenge was the stability of flight. The early Chinese fire-arrows and Mysorean rockets had a long bamboo stick attached as a tail (Figure 17-1), presumably to create rear drag thus guarding somewhat against wobbling. By the middle of the 19th Century, studies conducted separately in France and the United States indicated that rockets would be more accurate if they were spun, in a way similar to a bullet exiting a striated gun barrel.

And the analysis plays important role in the structural design and safety. Due to the advances with numerical software’s, the simulation helps in estimating the safety of the structures without actual prototype built up and testing. Firstly we design the Rocket parts by the help of modelling tools using solid edge v19, Catia v6 and assembled it later. In order to find pressure distribution on the missile surface and to find the stress and deformation of missile structure by pressure mapping using CFD mesh in Acusolve on to the Rocket Structure, Pressure values in “X, Y and Z” co-ordinate with magnitudes are obtained in CSV file format. And later we study behavior of the missile parts like Nose, Nose cone, Body, Tail and Fins when the surface remains same from nose to tail and the fins with the varying thickness. And we use the Maraging Steel 250 grade as the material and its properties is assigned to the mesh. And the mesh thickness of the outer shell material is increased for different cases along with a speed of Mach number 0.75 and 5.

  • The Challenge of the Quran [English ]
    The Challenge of the Quran [English ] [ ] (In the light of the Glorious Qurân and the Sunnah ) By : Dr . Bilal Philips ! "!#$ %$ !"# The Challenge of the Quran Descriptio n: The Qur'anic challenge to produce a work similar to it, and the inability of its contemporaries to meet it. By Dr. Bilal Philips The Quran is not only unique in the way in which it presents its subject matter, but it is also unique in that it is a mir acle itself. By the term “miracle,” we mean the performance of a supernatural or extraordinary event which cannot be duplicated by humans. It has been documented that Prophet Muhammad, may God praise him, challenged the Arabs to produce a literary work of a similar caliber as the Quran, but they were unable to do so in spite of their well -known eloquence and literary powers. The challenge to reproduce the Quran was presented to the Arabs and mankind in three stages: l. The Whole Quran In the Quran, Go d commanded the Prophet to challenge all of creation to create a book of the stature of the Quran: “Say: ‘If all mankind and the jinn would come together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce its like even though they exerted all and th eir strength in aiding one another.’” (Quran 17:88) 2. Ten Chapters Next, God made the challenge ostensibly easier by asking those who denied its divine origin to imitate even ten chapters of the Quran: “Or do the y say that he has invented it? Say (t o them), ‘Bring ten invented chapters like it, and call (for help) on whomever you can besides God, if you are truthful.” (Quran 11:13) 3.

These attacks are from individual persons, and from organized institutions as well; who are fiercely attacking the Islamic Religion, to disgrace the Islamic Values and distort the image of the Prophet Mohammed-peace be upon him. This paper is an attempt to shoulder the reasonability to speak to these people in their own languages to correct some wrong images; they had about Islamic Faith. On the other hand we want to defend Muslim entities and individuals as well. The paper discusses some questionable approaches used by the Orientalists in translating the Holy Quran. It will shed light on mistakes made in these translations. The findings proved that there was great harm-intentionally or unintentionally-made to Islam and Muslims due to these mistranslation practices of the Quran, the Holy Book of Muslims and the ultimate authentic reference to all Islamic laws and Islamic Teachings.
